So I'm new to Vallejo and acrylics in general. I bought a German starter set from Squadron and a couple colors at hobby lobby the other day. Problem is, im painting some German tank crew figures but the colors look way off to me. I have German field grey and german uniform in Vallejo Model Color line. Field grey dries looking very dark greenish and german uniform dries looking very olive greenish. Note that both of these were applied over a dry layer of Vallejo white. What mixtures are you guys using to get the correct shade for uniforms? Thank
